THE HONDA CLASSIC


March 9, 2002


Mike Weir


CORAL SPRINGS, FLORIDA

Q. How many holes did you end up playing today?

MIKE WEIR: I played 14 today, so far.

Q. And made eight birdies and a bogey. Just maybe talk about your round. The course seems a little earlier, maybe because of the weather and you hit some good shots, too.

MIKE WEIR: I did. I played really well. I was really disappointed -- I played the par 5's really poorly. I parred them all. So if you shoot 65, you don't expect -- you expect to take advantage of the par 5s, and I need to do a better job of that on the weekend. But playing well.

Q. Just real quick, going through your round, you started on No. 10 with a birdie. I guess that was yesterday, obviously.

MIKE WEIR: I hit a drive and a 9-iron probably to 15 feet.

Q. And then you birdied 11?

MIKE WEIR: 11, 9-iron to about six feet. 17, a drive and a 7-iron to ten feet. 18, drive and 7-iron to four feet. 1, drive and a wedge to five feet maybe. 5, I hit a 6-iron.

6, I drove it in the fairway bunker. I hit it in the green-side bunker, hit it out about six feet and missed a 6-foot putt.

7, I hit a drive and a sand wedge to probably 15 feet.

8, I hit a 4-iron to about 12 feet.

Q. That putt on 9, is that a tricky putt?

MIKE WEIR: Yeah, I just didn't line up right. Pulled it a little bit.

Q. In general, you said you're playing well. Anything in particular you're doing really well?

MIKE WEIR: I'm really controlling the distances with my irons. That's the key. I'm hitting a lot of shots close to the hole, and that's a key. I've just got to play the par 5s better.
